Foreign Travel.

It is fashionable to visit Europe by
persons who know. but little of this
country. We have a greater variety of
climates. grander scenery, more COM
Portable means of travel, and better
hotels, than any country in the world.
And yet thousands 60 to Europe who
cannot give, when there, an intelligent
answer to inquiries about the grandest
country in the world. And yet this
class of visitors spend annually for fare
on British steamers, in travelling ex-
penses, and trashy bric-a-brac, at least
fifty millions of dollars annually.
Russia seems determined to put pretty
heavy tariff on this class of insanity,
of spending their money abroad among
foreigners. The Russian Minister of
Finance proposes to tax any person who
goes out of the country 80 gold rubies
for the first three months of absence,
Is rubies month for the next three
months, 20 month for the next three
months, 25 per month for the fourth
three months and 80 per month AFTER
ward. This would certainly be that
kind of tariff which the consumer would
pay the duty. And in cases where a
government was hard pressed for re-
venue. it would be far preferable way
to raise money, to that resorted to in
this country in the early days of the re-
bellion. ~ ,,~5

Price of Pictures Past and Present.

Price of Pictures Past and Present. =
In the days of Sir Joshua Reynolds
very fine landscapes by such masters as
Claude, Poussin, Cuyp, Ruysdael. and
Hobbema were to be bought for 200
or 800 guineas, and the highest for a
Claude was ESQ for that beautiful pic
ture known as 1.-THE Enchanted Castle"
in the sale of M. de Callonne's (the
French Ambassador collection in 1895
in London, and f5O0 for the companion
picture, described in the sale catalogue
as ''equally beautiful" but which has
now not been identified. The pyices
which evince high estimate of Claude
before the days of modern landscapes
are positively insignificant compared to
those paid at auction during the last
twenty years for landscapes and sea
pieces by Turner. Constable, David Cox,
Copley, Fielding, William Collins. W.
Muller, Stanfield and Linnell. These
go by thousands instead of hundreds Of
guineas. And Gainsborough comes into
this honorable account now, though his
landscapes while he painted them were
thought little of, and he died leaving
the passage and staircase of his rooms
in Schomberg House, Pail Mall. en-

sits outa long time with the same man
on several occasions the world imme-
diately says il. will be q match, or, if
not, that it ought to be. and that he is
behaving very badly to her.
Why, then, are we to- suppose that
a young married woman may be doing
the same thing constantly without
rousing the suspicious Of othersp But
notoriety is the prevailing fashion, and
it is considered . great thing now to be
seen in music halls and restaurants
chiefly used by the demimondes, not
that there is any pretense that these
places are more amusing than the
theatres, ETC., but there is that feeling
so charming to many ladies Of the pres
ent day, that they are doing something
that is out Of the way and almost wrong.
There is the same fascination in going
to these places that there is in reading
French novels of more than doubtful
morality. Let it be but known that
there is book ont that is hardly decent,
and the rush for it is immense among
our young married ladies and even
among some of the elder spinsters.
Irdeed not to have read any book that
is more indecent than usual is to be
out of the fashion. !,

Shetland Ponies.

For some purposes these toy ponies
are not only highly ornamental but
useful. The pure bred Shetlands are
small, from 50 to AZ inches high, well
shaped, short limbed, bright colored,
long names and tails, quick, intelligent,
docile, easy to break, for riding or
driving, and in family Of kind chill
dren there can be no more delightful
pets. Mr.. E. w. Hartman, of Indianola,
has a pair of them which are our idea
of the beautiful and the useful. The
Marquis of Londonderry has a very
large breeding farm of the choicest Of
this class Of ponies on Brassy Island,
one of the Shetland Islands, and he fire..
quently sends to the United States some
of the most lovely specimens of ponies.
Any party who has span of. them,
and can afford to keep them, they are
ever a joy and pleasure forever. 1t is
only when they are bred pure, of choic'
~ selected specimens for their domestic
docility, that they are so valuable.
When they are bred Unfortunately,
running nearly wild on the Iceland
mountains they are hard to make as
kind and gentle as is desirable. They
are never as gentle as when bred and
raised with care and kindness. When
the true Shetland pony can be had it is
a disgrace to expend any kindness over
the ungainly and useless burro.s &,

Much has been written and said about
how to mako home happy. The moralist
and tho preacher have hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing moro re-
manned to be said. But the philosophers
have gone far out of their way to account
for the prevalence of il-assorted couples and
unhappy homes, and have overlooked the
chief cause. Most of the unhappiness of
married life can be traced directly to those
functional arrangements to which women
are subject. In nine cases out of ten tho
irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy wife is
q sufferer from some ''female complaint"

More than Loco, 600 pounds % The

featured in the United States alone.
The method Of making it's interesting.
The tin is of course first taken out Of
the mines, the best of which for this
purpose are in Australia and the Dutch
possessions Of the East Indies, The
metal is found in veins or assures call
ed lodes, though it is often found in. a
dispersed form in loose stones, which
when found continuously are called
streams. The rock containing the ore
is. blasted with gunpowder and carried
to. the stamping mill, whore it is pound
ed and washed. It is next smelted and
the tin run into blocks containing from
200 to 400 weight, each. This is the
condition in which the metal is kept for
ordinary use. ) {. + "
Two means are used to reduce it to
the necessary thinness. The old man
ner of hammering by hand after being
cut is still used to great extent. By
this process, however, only one surface
could be produced, and to obviate this
difficulty rolling mills We're invented.
Prior to their invention nearly all the
tinfoil was imported, but their i,se has
completely revolutionized the trade,
The metal is now placed between two
heavy rollers, which gives it a finishing
surface ON both sides. 1t is then cut
into widths OF. from twelve to ffteer
inches, rolled upon wooden reels anG
carried to cutting machines where it il
cut according to order. 1t is Their

each, being laid in without pressure
There is another difference between
the foil which is beaten and that which
is rolled. The former is full of small
holes, but the foil to be used for to
bacoo wrappers must be air tight.
